If the Dems werent so perpetually useless, they would immediately jump on this to get shit done, then when republicans cry and whine, push them to actually pass legislation that explicitly denies this. So they are stuck between letting Biden do whatever he wants to and stopping him, but also dooming Trump and/or whatever republican candidate down the line they want to be able to exploit these powers.
But they wont. Joe and his handlers will keep doing nothing and expecting everything to just magically work itself out. And then in January we will have a fully unrestricted God-king Trump.
(Also it would be so fucking funny if Trump just died of natural causes before the election/ inauguration, the MAGATS would actually implode from conspiracy theories)
The Democrats are not incapable. They are malicious and complicit.
It's time to stop pretending Democrats are just stupid well intentioned people
pull up, pull up, kaas
Oh, you think Joe hasn't done anything?
insert 2-pt font graphic of the 80,000 administrative court decisions passed under Biden that the SCOTUS just shredded via Chevron Deference case
If the polls bare out, Biden is going to lose states where Senate and House Dems win with wide margins. That, alone, is going to send the QAnon folks into a frothing lather and trigger a cascade of Trump Admin Constitutional Crises, as people argue that the election was rigged to favor the Deep State.
Republicans know they've got the police and significant chunks of the military on their side. So they're just going to do whatever the fuck they want at the state and local levels. Trump can do whatever he damned pleases at the Federal level, knowing the Dem Congress will just whine and pound sand. And the MAGAts are going to scream about how anything the GOP can't get done fast enough is being sabotaged by secret evil leftist sabatores, invoking wave after wave of new University pogroms and bureaucratic purges and police raids of liberal social clubs.
Jump on what? The president wasn't granted immunity.
The SCOTUS passed the buck to lower courts, and those courts could draw the line at whether or not Biden's actions qualify as official or not.
Or it could end up back at the SCOTUS, where we would have to trust (lol) that they reach the same opinion they did for Biden as they did for Trump.
Yes they did, absolute immunity for powers given in the constitution and presumptive immunity for all official acts.
They sent Trumps issue back to the lower courts to make a ruiling based on their clarifications.
hah, good one
